Gregg Painter

Born:
I am a Surrealist pianist. Surrealism is usually associated with poetry and visual art, but its revolutionary and revelatory aesthetic has determined my orientation toward making music. The juxtaposition of different elements, the primacy of chance, and the driving force of subconscious imagery all inform my playing. Although most of the music I listen to is from African and Arabic sources, Thelonious Monk, John Coltrane, Sun Ra, the Beatles, Max Ernst, Franz Kafka, all of the Blues greats, and so many others made me who I am as a musician.
